From bespoke designed street furniture and playscapes to our standard furniture ranges for architectural and landscape environments,
UAP SUPPLY partners with top designers, artists and architects to produce distinctive elements for the urban environment.
UAP SUPPLY’s Bespoke division can help to develop and construct your unique vision for highly sculptural and complex functional form, or directly
commission an emerging or established creative for your project. Either way, we help you push the boundaries of your creativity while ensuring the
integrity and viability of the built form.

KYLIE BICKLE / LANGTREE MALL, MILDURAThe design of Langtree Mall was developed utilising inspiration from the Mildura region and in particular, site visits by plane. An aerial view of the Murray River is inscribed onto the pavement and winds its way through the length of the mall.
Just as people and townships are attracted to the river, elements such as benches and picnic settings hug the edge of the river depiction through the mall.

TRENT JANSEN / MAKE DOSydney designer Trent Jansen was commissioned by the University of
New South Wales, Art and Design, to develop seating for the foyer of the UNSW Galleries in Paddington, Sydney. Titled Make Do, the collection consists of a seat, bench and coffee table and was inspired by the “make do” attitude
of those living in Australia during the 19th Century. A simple construction technique was used for these objects – the seat was created with a series of
wedges cradling a log. UAP SUPPLY collaborated with Jansen to fabricate this range which combines Chinese granite, New Zealand wool and Tasmanian oak
to provide a series of elemental furniture for the public space.
